Speciiicaton ot' Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 15, 1905.

Ue it known that l, .loma E. UwriNs, a citizen ot' the United tiitates,residing at Mance ville, in the county olf lt/luskingum and litate ol'Uhio, have invented certain new and uselful improvements in CookingVessels, oi which the 'following is a specification, reference being hadto the accompanying` drawings.

Vlli/ly invention relates to two-part vessels lor cooking, each partol.g which susceptible of use as an independent dish, while the combination of the two parts is susceptible of being used in a variety ot'ways.

r.lhe object ot' my invention is to provide a vessel o'l the classdescribed which shall be cheap in manufacture and eilicient in use.

Vlin the drawings illustrating the principle olE my invention and thebest mode now known to me ot' applying that principle, Figure l showsthe lower part ol my new vessel. Vliig. 2 illustrates the upper memberor cover VFor the part shown in Fig. i. Aliig. 3 represents the twomembers combined to form a sellbasting roaster. Fig. il: is a centralsectional view ol what is shown in lfig. 3. Fig. 5 portrays in centralsectional view the two parts combined to lorm a double boiler orbroiler, and Fig. (i is a view of the cover inverted to be used as apudding-pan.

'.lhe member n, lormed with a circular '['lange which projectsdownwardly Yfrom its bottom to give stability, and at its top is formedwith a horizontal ledge or seat c, from which springs the verticalilange (I, Figs. Yl and 4L. llhe cover u, Figs. 2 and t3, is '['lat ontop to give it stability when inverted to be used as a cake-mold orjmddingalish, as shown in liig. (i. lt is provided with a knob or handlef, which is countersunk to give the cover a level or l'lat bottom wheninverted, as just described, and its lower edge portion is 'formed witha flange y, which projects downwardly from a horizontal seat or ledge/1,. When the cover is inverted, Fig. 6, the flange f/ and seatconstitute means lor holding a cover when it is desired to use one. lheledges c and /t and the flanges (Z and are so 'formed that a tight jointis produced where they meet, as shown in Figs. et and Hence when the twoparts are iitted together to form a roaster the juices of the meat areretained elliciently and the device becomes a sel'lbastmg roaster, F 1g.

4, or when the cover is inverted and littedv into the dish t the liointbetween the two is a tight one and insures water of a high temu peraturein the dish a when the two parts thus combined are used as a doubleboiler, as in the familiar process ol2 cooking oatmeal, Fig. 5.

The dish member u. is relatively deep, so that when the cover f isinverted and fitted in the dish member ff. a substantial space isprovided between the two t'or holdingl water--in case ot' the doubleboiler, ior example, in the case above referred to. .lhis and the close[it oi the parte ll consider lieatures ol my invention.

What l claim ism-- i. in a two-part cooking vessel, the combiu nationoil a dish member formed at its upper rim portion with a seat and ailange projecting nfrom said seat, and a cover member tornied with aseat anda l'lange projecting' Afrom said seat, the 'i'lange ot' thecover member litting snugly within the flange otl the dish member to'form a tight joint and the seat of the cover member resting upon theseat el the dish member-when the cover is inverted.

2. In a two-part cooking vessel, the combination oi a dish formed at itsupper portion. with a seat, and a cover lormed with a seat adapted torest upon the seat o'll the dish when the cover is inverted in the dish;the dish being deep with relation to the cover, whereby a substantialspace is leit between the bottom ot the dish and the cover when thecover is inverted in the dish to lorm a double boiler.

In a two-part cooking vessel, the combination oitl a dish 'formed at itsupper portion with a seat, and a cover Formed with a .knob and with aseat adapted to rest upon the seat of the dish; the dish being deep withrelation to the cover and the knob oi the cover being sunk below the topol" the cover, whereby a substantial space is leit between the bottom ofthe dish and the cover when the cover is inverted in the dish to liorm adouble boiler.

4t. ln a two-part cooking-vessel, the combination of a dish formed atits upper rim portion with a seat and a flange projecting lrom saidseat, and a cover formed with a seat adapted to rest upon the seat ofthe dish when the cover is inverted in the dish, and with aiilangeiitting snugly within the iiangc of the dish to to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing` witnesses.
